Default New Car Alert
After having the 1998 Torch Red Coupe for about four months I decided I wanted to upgrade something a little newer with other options. I came across a 2003 Spiral Grey Coupe that was just what I was looking for. Didn't get a screaming deal on it ($34.5k) but it's not bad for the Portland Metro Area.

It's got 18k miles on it, 1SB, Z51, 3:15, A4.

Here's one picture of it. You can see the whole album at http://craig.wagner.home.comcast.net...s/2003Corvette.

Craig, when did you buy this? We saw one just like it at "that dealership out by the mountain" just yesterday (3/11). We were up in the Columbia Gorge and stopped by just to see what they had.
